About Bloomsbury

Bloomsbury is a tiny borough located in the state of New Jersey. With a population of 886 people and just one neighborhood, Bloomsbury is the 497th largest community in New Jersey.

Bloomsbury is neither predominently blue-collar or white-collar, instead having a mixed workforce of both blue-collar and white-collar jobs. Overall, Bloomsbury is a borough of sales and office workers, professionals, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Bloomsbury who work in office and administrative support jobs (17.72%), management occupations (11.38%), and sales jobs (7.66%).

Also of interest is that Bloomsbury has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.

In addition, Bloomsbury is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates," which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot. Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town. Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.

Bloomsbury is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The borough's good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Bloomsbury's overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

One downside of living in Bloomsbury is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Bloomsbury, the average commute to work is 34.44 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

Bloomsbury is very much a car-oriented borough. This is because the population of Bloomsbury isn't large enough or dense enough to support an extensive public transit system. It has a lot of rural roads, and the distance between houses can be quite large, which together tends to discourage walking and bicycling to work. 97.21% of residents commute to work in their own car (and the drive is typically to a job out of town). People also tend to drive out of town for other services as well, such as shopping, doctors appointments, and more.

As is often the case in a small borough, Bloomsbury doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
